The findings from the study on the impact of humic acids on avocado growth
underscore the positive influence of these organic compounds on the development of avocado plants. The observed acceleration in growth and increased yield of avocados indicates the effectiveness of humic acids in stimulating key physiological processes in the trees.
A critical determinant in this context is the capacity of humic acids to enhance soil structure, facilitating improved root penetration and nutrient assimilation. This, in turn, leads to heightened plant vitality, robust root development, and increased resilience to external stress conditions.
Additionally, the improved physiological state of avocado trees may also be linked to an increased presence of micronutrients in the soil, resulting from the interaction of humic acids with mineral components. This process is crucial for ensuring optimal growth and the formation of healthy avocado trees.
In summary, our research affirms that the application of humic acids significantly contributes to a noticeable improvement in the growth and yield of avocado trees, offering promising opportunities for enhancing productivity and sustainability in avocado plantations.
Grow Peat as humic acid
SUMMARY
An investigation was conducted to determine the effects of 12% humic acid (HA) on the plant growth of grafted Hass avocado on Mexican seedling rootstocks over a 7 months period (May 2002-November 2002). Humic acid treated trees increased by 28% in shoot height and 19.2% in shoot diameter. The HA alone significantly increased tree biomass and relative growth rate (RGR) in comparing to untreated trees.
Iron uptake by the plants was also effected by the addition of HA. Leaf analysis showed a high level of nitrogen and a slight increase in potassium in the tree treated with HA. However, untreated trees did not have any effect in N and K uptake. The application of HA also increased Ca and Fe.
This study showed that the application of humic acid has a positive influence in promoting overall tree vigor. Treated trees were larger and the root system was better developed than the untreated trees.
